From gourmet to everyday cooking-in spelled out steps November 16, 2008
This cookbook breaks recipes down into steps and lets you know how much time is going to be required. Great illustrations, easy referencing. This is my second step by step cookbook.
My First Great Cookbook August 21, 2007
We all have memories of cooking with Mom and her extremely well used cookbook. The one with the dog-eared pages and stains, their ultimate guide to new recipes and old techniques. When I turned 21, I decided it was time that I set out on the hunt to find my own staple cookbook and after looking at everything else out there, I picked this one.
From cover to cover, this book covers all of the information I needed to know but never knew. It has tons of great recipes ranging from the classics (like step by step instructions on how to cook my first Thanksgiving turkey)to new favorites like Pad Thai. The pictures are informative and inspiring. But there are also guides to nutrition, menus for different events and holidays, how to set a table and entertain. There are even explanations as to the different types of cheese or cuts of meat and where they come from.
This is not the type of book that just teaches you how to MAKE recipe. It is a book that teaches you how to know what to buy, when its in season, what it goes with and essentially how to CREATE a great variety of meals. Mom, I think I've found my cookbook. :)
Favorite Cookbook! July 6, 2006
My husband & I received this cookbook as a wedding present and we have yet to find a bad recipe and we've done a lot of them! Our friends now thing we are GREAT cooks and we enjoy sharing these great recipes with them. We've even given this cookbook as gifts multiple times. It is virtually the only cookbook we use! I love the tips and instructions in the front of each section too--really easy to follow and understand.
 Better suited for new cooks October 5, 2005

I was so excited to buy this book after reading the reviews. However I must admit I'm a little disappointed as it didn't meet my expectation. if you subscribe to family circle magazine you will find this book a bit dull as most of the recipes are too plain (some recipes I saw on the magazine itself but I think FC and GH are sister magazines therefore similar stuff is expected) and also the magazine has better step by step instructions than this book. But none the less this is a great first cookbook for a new cook. It has nutrition info as well as many great tips even entertaining ideas. I must also give credit to the book for teaching me one or two new tricks.

This was the first cookbook I bought when I decided that I should start learning how to make food that I actually want to eat. There are lots and lots of pictures, showing the process of making a particular dish. This was great, as I didn't even know at that point what equipment I was supposed to make the food with. Anyway, I did a couple of recipes and then moved on to trying recipes from all kinds of books. Last week however, I did two recipes for my guests on my birthday, and they loved it. I did the Salmon with dill and caper sauce and also the Caramel Apple Tart. Other good dishes: Asparagus Gratin, Veal Stuffed with Fontina, Prosciutto, and Basil. I was not to excited about the Green Bean dish with vinaigrette (but then I am not crazy about green beans - but the picture looks good!) If you want to learn from scratch and know how to substitute ingredients and all that, then this book is maybe not the one. But I worked for me, because I wanted to see if I even liked a method of cooking before learning more about it (my mom used to saute everything, broiling and all that were a new concepts to me).
